We loved this. No, it was not too rich with salmon. We will try it again soon with grilled shrimp.

The pesto is REALLY good. I have to remember it for other uses!! Worked great on the salmon and a VERY easy recipe.

This is delicious. I didn't have cilantro, so I used mint instead. I also boosted the garlic to a whole clove and the lime juice to two tablespoons. Next time I make it, I'm going to use mint (once again) and add another half teaspoon of coriander seed.

Simple and fast! I toasted the pepitas in a dry pan and then pour into blender container with the oil, this is the only thing I altered. Very tasty. We did not think it was too rich for salmon, in fact my DH thinks salmon is bland. He loved the pesto. I am a lime lover, but may go with lemon next time.
I do agree that it would be good on any fish. Or chicken, or shrimp, or tossed in pasta. I am going to try tossing with butternut squash ravioli.
Wonderfully fall.

I am familiar with pumpkin seed-cilantro pesto and this looks like a wonderful rendition. But, I wonder if it might be a little too rich to combine with a fatty fish like salmon. I only mention it because I've made this error before. I think perhaps it would pair better with a less oily white fish like snapper, sea bass, halibut or cod. Also, this pesto is extremely complementary to roasted quail, game hens or a young chicken. Dianna Kennedy also has a tried and true recipe for this pesto. It would be wise to check it out and glean the best from both recipes before proceeding.

Great! I love pesto and like to use it in new ways. Be sure to make your own fresh! ( 10/10/14-California Olive And Vine Announces The Voluntary Recall Of Pumpkin Seed Pesto)

This looks like an interesting pesto, but my spouse doesn't like Cilantro. Any thoughts on a substitute that would work...dill? basil? or would it ruin the blend with the pumpkin seeds?

This pesto is delicious! I served the fish and pesto with grilled polenta squares and Grilled asparagus with ancho chili flakes.

This pesto is fantastic. It goes with anything. Salmon is a nice choice. But I have also eaten it with shrimp and pasta, chicken, and other white fish. I even think it would be good on steak.
